EHS database analysis tool: Nanomaterials

ICON has created an analyzing tool that allows the researcher to analyze research trends across time and by category in a rich content of ICON's database of citations to peer-reviewed publications addressing nanomaterials' environmental, health and safety impacts.

Andrew Maynard did a thorough study of the tool and found it to be practical and provides an insight into how new knowledge on nanomaterial safety is progressing.
